What’s your favorite mineral?

I had to google it and after a quick look I decided on this lol (cavansite)

What would you do a TED talk on?

How trauma changes the brain tbh

How much science is too much science?

THERE IS NO SUCH THING

What about … lab goats?

BLESS YOU

Favorite Dinosaur? Fossil? whatever…

Trilobites! Because they were one of the most abundant species to ever exist but finding a whole one is super rare =0 (Also it’s the first one that comes to mind lol)

Do you think about murdering someone with science?

If you mean by talking their ear off about cool stuff I’ve learned, then yes :3

What is your favorite scientific theory?

Hmm. General relativity maybe. Gravity is cool. But then again, one of the coolest theories I’ve ever heard was about the dinosaurs dying b/c the atmosphere was set on fire. Also, everything about the Permian extinction is really cool.

What’s your favorite micro organism?

It’s okay to admit when you don’t know something or it doesn’t make sense. Science rarely makes sense. The more you learn, the more you realize you don’t know. And that’s okay.

15.  Ever tasted an experiment?

I hope not.

32. Why are biology majors so….you know..

Wouldn’t know, I wasn’t a bio major...I didn’t hang out with those kinds of people...

34. Do you like being supervised?

At the start of a new lab I tend to be nervous and have low confidence, so knowing a supervisor is close by to answer questions is very helpful.  However, once I get the hang of it I don’t like lots of hovering.

62. What would you do a TED talk on?

Probably syphilis.

67. Thoughts on spectral analysis?

Sure, why not?

68. Any interesting stories from the lab?

No.
